Thanks to the efforts of the Blackheath City Improvement District (BCID) Management, the City of Cape Town is busy resurfacing Van Riebeeck / Strand Road along our Eastern boundary from Stellenbosch Arterial to the Eerste River Station.
The tender was awarded to Civils 2000 and work on the road will be on-going until the end of January 2013. They are currently removing the old tar. Some of the removed soil will be used as the base for the new road after about 3% cement is added.
They hope to complete the preparation of the base of the entire road by the end of October 2012 and will then start with the finer 13mm tarmac that is more suited to be laid during the warmer weather in the Summer Season.
